Back to the Chalkboard, Agostino Zoida returns with a lesson for Standup Comedians and artists everywhere. After an 11 day run on tour, in Memphis, TN & Las Vegas, NV I am finaly back to share my performing experiences and what I learned which made me a better performer for it.

Talking about the vibe of a cool city like Memphis and how cool it was to perform there again and talking about performers that are in their head rather than in the moment and how that effects you as an artist. From recognizing when you're in your head, to what to do about it and how to over come it. Also some quick lessons for new comedians; should you watch the comedian before you? and how to open for other comics.

A continuation from a few episodes back (With guest Vinnie Falcone) on the discussion of "Should Comedians get Married?" and now we welcome back Jermey Scippio, another comedian friend of mine who is also about to tie the knot.

This episode talks about the darkside of Comedy and what it can do to our mental health, and is a spouce good or bad for that. We also talk a lot about the things that bring comedians down and breaking out as ourselfes and performing artists rather than the idolosied comedians that molded us.
Enjoy

Why have I been depressed about my comedy for the past 2 weeks? Not necessarily career but literally my comedy, where it's going, my writing and why have I been struggling with who I am as an artist?

All is explained in this solo episode, as well as explaining the difference between having an "Act" and just doing well on stage.

I think this episode can be helpful to comedians and anyone who considerers themselves an artist.

I hope to see you at one of my live shows?

Checking in on where your mind is in week 2 of the new year (2023)
This episode is great for artists or anyone that wants to feel/do better about their life, dreams, career and goals. It's time to step out of the Matrix that we think we're in and stop creating within the boundaries we have been given and realize that you can create without boundaries.
